On Monday 10/23 at 7pm we will convene for dinner at Racines NY, with Eric Texier, Rémi Branger (Domaine de la Pépière) and Olivier and Marie Horiot. We’ll taste the outstanding wines of these three estates, with commentary by the growers, while enjoying a four-course dinner prepared by Racines Executive Chef Frédéric Duca. (This will be the first time for Olivier and Marie to present their great Champagnes and still wines in the US!) Space is limited, $175 all inclusive, with all proceeds to Partners In Health.

Le Vieux Donjon has been one of the leading estates of Chateauneuf-du-Pape since the 1970s, under the direction of Lucien Michel, with his daughter Claire and son Francois now responisble for the winemaking. The red CDP is comprised of 75% Grenache, with vines dating back to 1900, with Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Counoise and white grapes including Clairette. The grapes are approximately 50% de-stemmed, fermentations are with wild yeasts and aging is in old foudres. The house style is one of elegance and balance, producing wines that are attractive when young and age gracefully for 20 years and more.

Please join us after work for a glass of great organic and/or natural wine for only $8, with our craft beer selections, accompanied by a wide variety of superb bar snacks. Every two weeks we’ll offer a different selection of two white, two red and a sparkling wine, all from organic grapes and many with minimal or zero added sulfur.

A native of Clermont-Ferrand, David Rathgeber left the Auvergne region of France at age 18 to embrace a culinary career. He was fortunate to begin working for Alain Ducasse, training at the Louis XV in Monaco, the Plaza Athenée in Paris and the Essex House in New York. Returning to Paris he became chef de cuisine at Les Lyonnais in 2002 and was awarded a Michelin star in 2006 at Benoit. In 2008, with the support of Chef Ducasse, David took over the legendary Parisian bistro L’Assiette in the 14th arrondissement. Rathgeber’s cuisine is a remembrance of the dishes he used to have as a child — jugged hare, stew (potée), or stuffed cabbage — especially those served at the Sunday table, around which his family of hunters gathered happily. Racines NY is proud to welcome Chef Rathgeber back to New York for this celebration of French traditional cuisine with Chef Duca!For reservations, call 212-227-3400
